Exotic aromas of apricots, pears, and peaches can be found in the nose of Javillier’s 2001 Meursault Charmes Cuvee Speciale. This medium-bodied, plush wine is jam-packed with fruit. Its supple waves of pulp-laden pears and jammy apricots are intermingled with compelling hints of an underlying minerality. Projected maturity: now-2010. To Patrick Javillier, 2001 was a classic vintage with normal ripeness levels and problem-free fermentations, “I really don’t see where the problems are ... total acidity was in the 5.5 to 6.0 range and finished pHs were between 3.2 and 3.25, it’s all very classic.”
